MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 20 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Hold the aim point and wait for the proper flare height before you start rotating; let the runway come up to you rather than anticipating it.
What happened: The flare began early, well above the normal flare band, and touchdown followed at 693 m past the threshold, 236 m beyond the 457 m target. Starting the flare early like this usually carries the touchdown long.
Watch for: Radio altimeter against the normal flare band, then touchdown distance against 457 m.
A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 1,000 ft gate: sink rate 1,764 fpm, more than the glideslope needed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,533 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,533 m of the 2,211 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 693 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A220-300 taxied from the parking area to runway 19 at EBBR Brussels Airport; the taxi-out required 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 19 the aircraft used a takeoff distance of 2,557 m 92 % of runway and rotated at 134 kt. Local weather was temperature 17 °C, wind 2 kt at 270 °, with a 2 kt crosswind and a 1 kt headwind.
Climb commenced overhead Sterrebeek, Belgium, climbing from 1,182 ft asl to 28,781 ft asl, an increase of 27,599 ft in 17 minutes while covering 105 nm.
Level cruise began overhead Bettembourg, Luxembourg, lasting 1 minutes and covering 8 nm.
A second climb segment started overhead Basse-Ham, France, rising from 29,232 ft asl to 30,125 ft asl, an increase of 894 ft in 7 minutes over 56 nm.
Subsequent level cruise was initiated 1 mile east of Cirey-sur-Vezouze, France, lasting 10 minutes and covering 78 nm.
Climb resumed 1 mile south-west of Eptingen, Switzerland, climbing from 31,294 ft asl to 36,464 ft asl, an increase of 5,170 ft in 3 minutes across 23 nm.
A longer level cruise followed overhead Entlebuch, Switzerland, lasting 33 minutes and covering 253 nm.
Descent began overhead Gaiole in Chianti, Italy, descending from 36,249 ft asl to 2,999 ft asl, a decrease of 33,249 ft in 19 minutes while covering 112 nm.
A brief level cruise then occurred 3 miles south-east of Formello, Italy, lasting 2 minutes and covering 5 nm.
Descent continued over LIRU Rome Urbe Airport, Italy, dropping from 2,985 ft asl to 2,121 ft asl, a decrease of 864 ft in 2 minutes across 5 nm.
Final approach to runway 15 at LIRA Ciampino-G. B. Pastine International Airport descended from 1,768 ft agl to 369 ft agl in 101 seconds, with the aircraft scoring on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 15, whose length is 2,211 m, occurred with a threshold speed of 128 kt; touchdown was 259 m beyond the touchdown zone at 112 kt, with a touchdown rate of minus 261 fpm and very good runway alignment. Local weather reported temperature 15 °C, wind 2 kt at 269 °, a 2 kt crosswind and a 1 kt tailwind.
Total landing distance measured 1,435 m, 65 % of runway, and rollout alignment was very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area; the taxi-in took 9 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered 653 nm in 113 minutes and used 3,962 kg of fuel.
